He sat with his eyes closed and his head pointed up, towards the sky. It had been a long night, a cold one to be precise. The sun was finally up, it was time to soak in a bit of light, a tad bit of hope along. He leaned forward on his chair in the balcony, looking between the crammed up buildings to catch a glimpse of the rising sun. He smiled to himself, amused and embarrassed about his own thoughts that pent up like the lone skyscraper in the night. The shine and the sheer magnanimity somehow felt diminished opposite to the rising day.
‘It wasn’t that big a problem’, he thought to himself as he poured out the egg on to the pan for an omelette.
‘Let’s make it cheese then!’, he chuckled.
